A specimen of wonderful detective
work is revealed in the case of horse
that was picked up in the street, taken
to livery stable and kept there three
weeks. The owner promptly reported
his loss to the police, giving a descrip-
ton. The local Hawkshaws had been
diligently hunting the city in search of
the animal in the mean time, until the
owner discovered the whereabouts of
his horse through newspaper item.
The statement that ex-Policeman
Grace, who had the difficulty with In
spectOr Kinney Saturday night, is an
attache of the Quinlan d King Detect

employed for three days, and that ended
his connection with the agency, so the
row could hardly have grown out of the
tectiyeS.
The presence of moths in clothing

the summer.

IN LIGHTER VEIN.
Leisure Hour Thoughts on Topics Of
Current Interest.
IDLE FACTS AND FANCIES.
Pertinent Points and Some Impertinent
Ones on Men and Measures
of Interest.

There is nothing puritanical about
Minneapolis. AS city it has the wide
open instinct and has it bad. Every
thing that is puritanical, pharisaical
and hypocritical is monOpOlized by a
certain class and very small class, too,
but which has succeeded in holding the
winning hand.
Take Minneapolis Sunday, for in
stance. If the popular impulse were
followed the day would be the gala day
of the week. 1t would not be uprOari-
Gus or disorderly, but it would be en-
phaticaliy day of relaxation and rec
reatiOn.
1t is the one day of the seven which
can be enjoyed by over 20 per cent of
the population. These people work
hard all week. For six days it is one
incessant struggle for existence, and
they can scarcely call their souls their
own. If they do not toll at night, they
are so utterly exhausted by the time
evening comes that recreation is out of
the question. They are slaves for six
long days, and are released Sunday.
How they do lay themselves out to
enjoy that one day. If the weather is
fine, the streets swarm with them and
every means of amusement and enjoy
ment are seized with fervid energy.
Inc motor trains carry thousands OF
them to the suburban resorts and every
park is a TRUSTING place for as many
more.
Even an intimation of an amusement
attracts them. Look at the theaters
last night. Packed to the doors and
hundreds turned away. Concerts on
Sunday night will be given to crowds
which on week day evenings would be
chilled by endless rows of vacant chairs.
A Sunday game of base ball will fill
the grounds. Twenty to two hundred
people will go through the week and
sheer at a moderately good game; but
on Sunday thirty-five hundred will pack
the boards and benches and rapturOuSly
applaud game rank to degree.
That is the Sunday characteristic of
Minneapolis. The better the day the
better the deed. The people want re-
Taxation and amusement on this one day
they may call their own, and they are
going to have it. If permitted they
will have it peaceably and quietly, as
they did yesterday, with nothing to dis
turb tn re whose views are different,
but have it they will.

A S rUPID JOKE.

There are lies and lies. There is the
facile, artistic and ingenious lie, that
may deceive, but still compel certain
kind of admiration. But there is the
stupid, silly and bungling lie, carrying
conviction on its face and deceiving no
one. For such lie there is only pity.
Whenever the Tribune attempts a
lie about its circulation it is one of the
bungling, vapid kind. 1t is of the
written-by-inStructiO n-and-reviewed-b
the-editOrial-head kind of lies. Such a
bungling piece of work was eSSayed
yesterday. 1t was written by the Mrs.
Cleveland editorial writer, and while
not such monumental piece of
aSininity, it was difference of degree
only.
Perhaps it should not be called lie,
for lie is that which is meant to de-
ceive, and this circulation illumination
deceived no one. 1t was not intended
of his senses could believe the Tribune
would ever, even in its cunning, expect
public credence for the statement that
it had 10000 Sunday circulation in Min
neapOliS.
This is the Tribune'S little joke, and
is intended to divert attention from its
past shortcomings. 1t hopes, perhaps,
that in laughing at its foolish cuckoo
babble of itself, the public will forget
the recent spanking it received for it's
villainy. Perhaps, after all, the evident
stupidity is really deep cunning, de-
signed to provoke good humor through
laughing.
The Tribune did not intend to libel
Minneapolis in this statement, and Min
neapOlis will kindly overlook it. The
city can appreciate joke, even when it
is an unintentional joke.
But as though with the express idea
of carrying conviction with its stupid
effusion, the Tribune intimates that it
has over 500 circulation in st. Paul, a
city where it is unknown and unheard
of. GLOBE reporters learned this, when
they gathered opinions on the Mere
People" editorial. The most prominent
Republicans, even state officials, had
not heard of it. Six GnOBE reporters
bought one Tribune each to be able to
show it, and the local agent of the paper
was paralyzed at the unheard-Of sale.
The Tribune ought to label its Jokes.
There may have been one man who did
not discover it.

NECESSARY FEAR.
Every Man Should Have More OF
Less of 1t.

At the Church of the Redeemer Rev.
n. ID. Shutter spoke upon the DUTY of
Broad Religious Inquiry" from the text
"And | was afraid and went and hid
thy talent in the earth" He said:
There is a fear that is rational and
necessary. 1t makes one cautious and
prudent 1t keeps him from needless
danger. But there is also fear that
paralyZes. The dread which the thought
of his master brought upon this servant,
compelled him TO sit down and stir
neither hand nor foot. The talents that
men have-their gifts and endOwmentS
they exercise upon all subjects but re-
ligiOuS. They are afraid and hide their
Lords money in the earth. A man who
opens his eyes wide in social and pOliti-
cal questions. simply opens his mouth
wide in religious questions. A French
wit of the last century used to say.
"Gentlemen, Il true Christian never eX-
amineS what he is ordered to believe. 1t
is with that as with bitter pill, if you
chew it, you will never be able to Swal-
low IT," Men are afraid to use their
talents III religion, lest they find them
selves at last obliged TO change their be-
liefs. They fear TO investigate the
doubts that sometimes rise, lest the
never shrink from fact. Let us never
fear TO face our doubts and see what
there is in them. Whatever is true, it
is Our right and duty TO know, and then
adjust ourselves to it. Men are afraid
to use their talents lest they displease
their friends. Hold on to the faith of
your father and mother" Is very COM
mon exhortation. Responsibility for
ones religious opinions is con-
stantIy preached, but when aching
upon that responsibility leads one
into independence Of thought and ac-
ton, then the terrified preacher ex-
claims: do not fOrsal1e the faith of
YOUR father and mother" Investlga-
ton is only urged so long as it is sup
posed that investigation will keep ono
within certain limits. If by the eX-
hortation is meant: 'HOld on to the
trust in God and faith in righteousness
that your father and mother had," !,
too, say: Hold on to the faith of your
father and mother" If it means:
sHold Oh TO their views of theology"
then the advice may be absurd. 1t may

AN AFRICAN MAG1CIAN's ART
A Fountain Spurts From an
EmDty Moorish Jar Ugh in Air.

Empty Moorish Jar High in Air.
We visited the large, open market
place and saw the crowds of peasants
from the surrounding villages, and
number of performances by snake
charmerS and Open-air magicians, says
traveller in Northern Africa writing
to the Chicago News. One trick, per-
formed by brawny native, dressed in
not much but a pair of slippers and a
breech-clout, was rather better than
that we often see at the eX-
hibitions of men like Keller and
Casanenue in America. In this
case, it must be remembered, the per-
Torrance was without cOnfederateS or
apparatus, and he did his trick in the
open air, surrounded closely by crowd
of eager and sharp-sighted spectators.
He took a small earthen jar holding
about quart and passed it around that
all might see there was no machinatiOn
connected with it. | examined it and
found nothing: it was but an ordinary
kitchen utensil used by the Moors, and
had a round body and wide mouth.
I After it was returned to him he
went through with number of
lamentations and then once more
passed III AROUND. AIler assuring
all in this manner he blew into it
and held it alOft OH one hand
while covering the mouth with
the other. After few more addresses
of considerable OratOrical power to Allah
he removed his hand from the mouth of
the jar and a column of water spurted
several feet in the air. How he did the
trick | could not tell. After that he
sho wed himself still greater master of
the elements by breathing on handful
of straw, which he gathered in stray
wisps from the ground, and intlamed it
all. | heard of many other tricks, but
these two were the only ones | witnessed
personally. They are certainly clever
rascals, and get good deal of money
out of their credulOus and superstitious
spectators, who believe the performer
to be in league with supernatural

WAR PROSPECTS.
The Subject Ably Treated by Rev.
IL, NJ Simmons.

Follow ing is an abstract of II. NJ.
Simmons sermon on War Prospects"
preached at the First Unitarian church:
Isaiah predicted the time when swords
should be beaten into plowShareS ;
Cicero taught the universal brother
hood of mankind:" Lucian said the
human race would yet least aside its
weapons and all nations learn to love. p"
and Jesus made peace end love the
foundation of His religion, but war
still prevails. Christians reversed Jesus
principles. for centuries Waged religious
wars for Him who gave His chief bless
ing to peacemakcrS, and sacked cities
in the name of Him who said ''lOve your
enemies and they do not even yet con-
denim war so much as they do the doubt
whether Noah built the ark. But more
and more the evidence grows that Jesus
and Cicero were right. and that the
prophecy OF Isaiah and Lucian will yet
come true. Wars themselves are most
powerful argument for peace,
which is beginning to tell on the
public mind. They are too costly a
custOm-and those of the last thirty-five
years have cost enough to build more
than $4,000 Exposition. buildings like
ours. They are too criminal custom,
and men are beginning to ask why we
should hang a highwayman for killing
one man and honor Napoleon for kill
III 2.OO0,0G0. and why think the moral
law is altered by epauletS? And, after
all the cost and crime, wars accomplish
so little. and have usually, as Lowell
said. only shifted theibOundaries on
the map and put one ugly head instead
of another on the coins which the peO-
pie paid TO the taX-gatherer." FrOude,
though friendly TO the British govern
ment. said the Zulu war had left the
troubles worse than it found them, and
had brought England only debt for
numbering 1900 defenders Of their ma
tive land. The industrial classes are
learning that wars are wicked waste,
paid out Of their own pockets and Civ
ing only grief in return. And the waste
is growing even greater with progress
in the use of explosives. Artillery
grows stronger, and thereby only
neceSSitateS stronger walls to withstand
it. Hence statesmen begin to see the
necessity of ending war; and very sig
nificant Is the fact that even military
England recently sent to Washington Il

A dog owned by one of the wOrshipers
followed his owner into the sacred edi-

where he sat looking straight ahead.
The brute finally jumped to the floor
and curling up at his owners feet went

a vigorous kick, which sent him rushing
up the aisle. The dog was finally

Wing on your starry flight;
Wing to the realms of light
Reach from the sullen scowl-

Reach from the curse, and grOan-

Reach to the silvery throne
Where God sits all alone,
And cry to Him, on high,
For those about to die

When dawn shall light the day,
These men must pass away,
And say, then say
Oh is there's there need
For this our country's deed,
For right, for law, and liberty.

And wisdom makes reply,
We wish no man to die,
But justice must be done
Ere victory can be won
For freedom over anarchy.

And this our country's deed
Is done, so men take heed
To right, and law, and liberty. -
